I've had the great honour of meeting Hooky twice in my life. One time when I was on vacation in London I've sat down and had a chat with him after one of his DJ gigs and again a few years back when he performed with The Light over here in Germany. Not only did he recognise me but again he sat down and had a drink with me (his non-alcoholic). He was jovial, witty, quick one-liners and very humble. Truly wonderful man and a great inspiration forever and a day.

The second time I saw New Order in NYC, a heavily drinking Bernard yelled back at the audience, "I see we have some Joy Division fans here" after being asked repeatedly to play their old songs. A little while later as a synthesizer sequence was being loaded from cassette tape and taking a bit, Bernard first apologized and then said, "actually I don't give a sh*t!". Peter took away the bottle he was holding.

The question I would most like to ask Hooky about this period in the band is, why the hell did they drop the song "Homage" from their set? It's one of the most energetic, full-on songs from that time (as you can hear on the 'Western Works' demo). The drumming is frenetic, it's just a great track, but they played it live just a handful of times in 1980 and then dropped it. Maybe they thought it harked back to the JD sound too much and they wanted to get away from that? Who knows, but I've always thought it a real shame that this track never really saw the light of day.

Mislabeled, he doesn’t say much about Movement. It’s an interesting moment in time. The JD is heavily present, but you can hear the transition there too, with Barney’s vocals still tentative, as if he’s in Ian’s shadow. It’s here you can really hear how much Curtis brought to the group. Hook has mentioned that he thinks their musical direction would have continued in the same direction had he lived, and that brings thoughts, what would he have brought to “The Perfect Kiss”. Different lyrics, sure, but the style would have been quite something, hard to produce in your imagination. I do like New Order better than Joy Division, but the beauty of Movement is that one can hear both, but also appreciate what is missing from it, since in a way, it is neither band complete.

@nerveclinic7 жыл бұрын
Their first two records were as good as anything the Smiths did, have you listened to "Movement" and "Power Corruption and Lies"? Blue Monday was a seminal track that certainly played a huge influence on a lot of Electronic that followed into the next decade. After that I would be hard pressed to argue, although I always thought the Smiths were over rated. N.O. did put out a lot of swill later in their career. Of course it all depends on ones taste in music. Additionally they were Joy Division so they carried that mystic around also.
@revol1487 жыл бұрын
nerveclinic some of their early work was indeed great as was odd tracks from Republic album in the 1990's.Blue Monday has been played to death so I can't view it from a dispassionate viewpoint.However when compared to the stand-out tracks from the Smiths there really is no comparison - N.O never managed to write perfect albums like Meat is Murder nor the Queen is dead and let's not forget Bernard couldn't write lyrics to save his life when compared to the genius of Morrissey.Oddly enough when both bands were going New Order were much bigger in the U.S - of course their popularity is in decline now that they are churning out rubbish album after rubbish album too vain to ever realise that they may as well call it a day or else become a New Order tribute band as Hooky has so brilliantly done !
@nerveclinic7 жыл бұрын
I had given up on them by the time Republic came out. I remember Blue Monday when it came out and how ground breaking it was. I saw the ripples it created in electronic music that came after, in my opinion a positive influence. That song alone was extremely important in the history of electronic music. That's quite an achievement. Hooky is smart, he's become the New Order/Joy Division cover band, but only the first two NO records and mostly Closer by JD tribute band. That's really how I remember them the Closer Album, a couple of JD 12" singles and then the first two NO albums and Blue Monday. Sorry I don't think the Smiths can touch that combination, but it just means we have different taste in music. And yeah I owned Meat is Murder and the Queen is Dead, it's not that I haven't heard it. Different tastes mate.
